. County Board Will Investigate the Validity of
- New Law Before Allowing the Claims for
. Increased Compensation : '
" The county board decided this after
- .noon to postpone action upon the claim
of the four circuit judge of Multnomah
county for the first installment of the
'increase in salary awarded to them by
the act passed at the recent special sea-
sion of the state legislature. The de
cision of the board was made with a
, ivlew ; to investigating the question
4" whether the ' act of the legislature U
' valid, and whether; If valid, it took ef
'.. fect immediately' upon its approval , by
i the governor. . . ; - . .-.,..
Upon the first point there is a wide
.difference of opinion- among lawyers.
I'he-elreult judges are state officersVaml
their salary of $3,000 is at present paid
.entirely by the state. - The legislature
: .'undertook to. increase the compensation
' of the circuit Judges In ' Multnomah
.county by enacting that in future they
shall receive 84.000, the additional 11,000
to bejald by the county out of count?
. funds. , By, some lawyers it Is contended
that the legislature has no right to com-
,pei a county to pay any-part of the
' salaries of state officers, who should be
paid wholly ..by the suue. The county
j noard . will probably be the more dts
, . jsed to investigate this question closely
(because of . the policy, of rigid economy
which it has been pursuing in the effort
t to get", the. county out of debt. There
are many lawyers, however, who are of
, the -opinion that the action of the legis
lature t was entirely legal.,
But upon the question whether the
.act increasing the Judges' salaries took
effect Immediately, as Intended, tbe be
. lief seems to be quite general that it
: did not It is true that the second sec
tion 'of the act recites that "an emer
. geucy , is ' declared," and that "the act
' : shall take .effeot immediately upon . its
approval by the governor," but there is
no declaration that the act is neces
sary "for the immediate preservation
of the public peace, health or safety." ,
' In the 'decision handed down by the
supreme court on December 21, relative
to the referendum amendment to t&e

TAX DEEDS
ISSUED
After securing legal advice. Sheriff
, Storey has decided to issue tax deeds to
: property sold for taxes during the year
: 180, on the ground that the old tax
. law, which- provides for the . issuance
of deeds within two years after the sale
is still in effect
r" Conflicting passages Jn the recent tax
.laws, passed during the 1901 session of
I the legislature, leaves a doubt as to the

the sale, before the sheriff ' can issue
S deeds to the bidders. In one place the
: law provides that after December 1. 1901,

' John Fabrlcus, the head "trusty" at
f the county Jail, took his departure from
t that institution early this morning,
while the Jailers were at breakfast He
;was last seen in the office, shortly be
tfore 7 o'clock. Police and deputy
i sheriffs are searching for the prisoner
J today.
Fabrlcus was serving a six months'
. ' sentence for larceny, and his time would
have expired in a few days. He-was
convicted of stealing some plate from
ja- Lutheran--ohureh, and committed to
i jail last July. He had occupied the
position of head . "trusty" for some
time, and was trusted Implicitly about

and that he will be apprehended during
the day, -
' VI. do not think that the man really
intended to escape," he said today, "be

to get away on previous occasions, but
'.'never availed himself of the oppor

v By the regulations of the county
"court, three trusties are allowed in the
A Jail. They are employed In ' serving
meals to the prisoners, cleaning the Jail,

, allowed few privileges, they could easily
escape when the Jailer or deputies are

an act is necessary for the Immediate
preservation of the public peace, health
or safety, that declaration is not review
able by the courts and the act Will take
effect , at once. Nowhere in the 'Opinion
does the court indicate the precise form
in which this declaration must be made
by the legislature, but the intimation is
plain that in the absence of such a dec
laration the act will not-tiaks effect until
?0 days have elapsed. '
,, The : referendum amendment to -the
constitution provides that all acts of the
legislature shall be subject to'the refer
endum and that no act shall take effect
until 90 days after its approval by the
gWernorTexcepOucfi as areecessary
for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, health or safety." As the
act increasing the circuit Judges' sal
aries simply .declares "an emergency'
and does not recite such a public neces'
sity.as is required by the referendum
amendment, a question of interpretation
la raised which apparently can be de
cided, only by the courts. When the leg
islature 'declared "an emergency" did it
mean; that the immediate preservation of
the public peace, health or- safety re
quired that the Increase in the salaries
of Multnomah county's clroult Judges
should begin at once, and that public
calamity threatened if this were de
ferred for 80 days! Such an lnterpreta-.
tion would be a pretty severe strain
upon the judicial Imagination, and the
average cltisen would And ' it hard to
realise, that the issue could' be fraught
with' consequences so momentous to the
state at large. - -i -
While the course that will be pursued
by the county board Is. purely a matter
of conjecture, it hardly seems likely
that any claims by the circuit Judges
for additional salary will be allowed -until
90 days have elapsed from the ap
proval of the act The members , of the
board express no ' opinion upon the
other and more Important question,
whether the county can be compelled to
pay any part of the circuit Judges' sal.

probably Investigate later.

three years shall be required, and In
another it provides that the deeds shall

Attorney J. V. Beach, who advised
Sheriff Storey regarding the actual mean
ing of the law, is inclined to believe that
the 'action of the sheriff Hither way is
immaterial as there is opportunity tb re-,

He believes that a test case will be nec

HIS CHXEF DEFENSE. ,
After considering for five minutes the
evidence submitted to them in the case
against J, By Stevens, charged with ob
structing a public street, a Jury In the
municipal court today found the defend-.
ant guilty.u Judge Hogue fined him f 10.
Stevens is a Socialist speaker. -
He was arrested on last Sunday after
noon, by Patrolman Orlf Roberts. Claim
ing that his constitutional rights had
been .violated by the arrest, his attor
neys 'put up what they -.considered a
strong defense. 1 ,
The members of the Jury, the first
drawn .from , the new panel for 1904,
were Calvin A. Jack, William I Mor
gan, ' C H.- Oaylord and- Herbert Brad
ley, iv ' .h ; :'":
In his opening argument Assistant
City Attorney Fitzgerald stated that the
right of free speech was limited by cer
tain police- regulations and police pow
ers. Among these was tbe use of the
streets which was - guaranteed to the
general public. ,
, Patrolman Roberts -told, of making the
arrest Ho pointed out bow the crowd
blocked the sidewalk and ; extended; to
the car tracks : He asked Stevens why
he did not hire' a hall and the speaker
said he' was exercising his constitutional
right to speak and did not have to move
on. Roberts testified that Stevens had
long - been in the habit of addressing
crowds of men on Burnside street tak
ing from an hour and a half to. two
hours for each talk. ; v ,
"Dlif you -not say that he was talking
nonsense?" asked. Judge Seneca Smith,
attorney for Stevens. ,
"No," replied the officer.
"He said that he was going to be ar
rested again," said Roberts, "after he
got out of Jail." i ' s
J. T. Robertson, for the defense, ad-
jnltted that there was quite a crowd on
the street and sidewalk. He stated that
Stevens did move three or four feet
back when ordered by Roberts. He said
that the officer had cleared the walk
three or four times, and said It was no
worse than it had been many Utiles be
fore. William Vendergoat, who balled Stev
ens out. testified that Stevens said he
was arrested for telling the truth. Mike
Wakeman said Stevens' audience was
no larger than that of the Salvation
Army, while William Thomas said that
the officers told Stevens to "Get off into
the street."
' During the trial Stevens, who some
what resembles William J. Bryan, sat
with his wife, talking and smiling at
every point won by their counsel. When
he was called to the witness stand .he
assumed a dramatic attitude as be
faced the Jury.
, "If you please,' can I stand and'glve
my evidence r ne askea.
"No, Just sit dowrV' Judge Hogue or.
dered.
"I was addressing the crowd on the
horrors of the Chicago fire.'' said the
witness after he told that he lived at
Sell wood.
"Never mind what you were talking
about It is not essential aqd we don't
want to hear it," interrupted the 'court
. "Why don't you hire a church for this
nonsense?" Stevens . declared he was
asked by Roberts.
"I was telling the truth and cannot
be denied the right to speak," continued
Stevens in his testimony. "There was
plenty of room for pedestrians and car
riages, I told the officer I would exercise
my rights and then he said he would
arrest me." .
Mr. Fitzgerald waived cross-examination
and also the closing argument to
the Jury. For the - defense Associate
Counsel B. M. Smith argued some legal
points in asking for a dismissal of the
case.

The merry Christmas season is at
hand and with it come parties and en

hostess who has her house full of guests
and wishes to do her best to have some
thing that will make their visit a long
and pleasant memory is glad to find a
new idea. There Is a very pretty one,
and not so difficult either.
A "Jack Fr6st" party or an Ice and
snow party. The invitations are sent
out on frosted cards tied with white satin
ribbon. It is, of course, prettier if the
guests come in costume, but that Is not
necessary, except for the host and host
ess. If you go in costume wear white
trimmed with swansdown or crystal and
glittering beads. The hair should be
powdered, and rhlnestone ornaments and
diamond dust sprinkled all over you.
The house must be turned into a reg
ular ice palace. This is how to set
about it: Have white linen stretched
on the floor, the mantels and fireplaces
covered with cotton wool sprinkled with
diamond dust, and all the draperies of
soft , white. Have all the lights with
frosted or crystal bead shades. The
Idea must b carried out in the dining
table, too. Have what refreshments you
cart in hollowed out ice cakes and cut
glass dishes; pale-colored ices and whit
cakes with sparkling icing. Tou can
have either cards or dancing, and the
programs or tally cards might be of

SBVEBEX.Y TBAnrXS,
A Young Prince who Slant Take Xlfe
. Easy.
From the Westminster Gazette.
One may be sure that King Victor
Emmanuel III -will be ' particularly
pleased with his recent visit to England,
not only for its political significance,
as it is meant to confirm the old friend
ship between the two nations, and per
haps something more, but also because
of the many early connections of his
memory with this country connections
which must have left In him a deep and
pleasant impression. Professor Mo
rand's "L'Educaxione dl Vlttorlo
Emanuels ust iubliBhed,7gtves"us
many details that will be Interesting to
English readers of the early life of the
young king. English sounded near his
cradle, together with Italian, and ha
used to speak it in his childhood as fre
quently and naturally as his own lan
guage. The nurse who passed with him
the first happy years of his life was
Miss. Elizabeth Lee, a good English soul
to whom Victor Emmanuel was fondly
attached. To her and to a Florentine
valet was intrusted the early linguistic
training of the boy prince, so that be
could learn at the Same time, and both
from the. proper source, the languages
of Shakespeare and Dante. In English,
too, he spoke to bis mother. Queen
Margherlta, a lady of many scholarly
gifts, and almost exclusively in Eng
lish he used to write his diary, his ac
counts, and the catalogues of his books,
among which were prominent several
English nursery books. Later on. the
officer who was for 10 years his rigid
and severe tutor, Colonel Oslo, was one
to favor his English leanings, as he
could speak English himself . quite
fluently, and had not a few friends In
the English army, having been on the
staff of Lord Napier during the expedi
tion against King Theodore of Abys
sinia. When IS years old, the prince
underwent A regular course of English
literature under the guidance of Pro
fessor William Bliss, and it is said that
of the many English works read and
studied, two have particularly attracted
his attention,- the Essay on Homef."
by Gladstone, and the "Philosophy of
Btybs," by Herbert Spencer.
Though English was the first foreign
language he learned, and the one he al
ways spoke best, he had in time to learn
very carefully French, German and a lit
tle Russian. No boy ever Studied so
hard between the age of I and It as
young Prince Victor did. He was- lit
erally a .slave to Colonel Oslo, a surly,
austere soldier of the old Piedmonteae
type, a man of Iron character, and a stu
dent of uncommon knowledge and acute
ness. Neither the king nor the queen
could do what they liked with their own
son. If they wanted him on some par
ticular occasion at dinner with them (he
dined regularly with his august par
ents only on Sundays), if they wished
to take him for a drive or to a fete,
they had to consult the colonel, and tbe
permission was general declined. This
stem tutor treated his pupil without
any regard for his social position.
"Remember," he was once heard say
ing to him as a conclusion of a very
brisk reprimand, that the son of a king
or the son of a bootmaker, when one is
an ass, is an ass!"
Up at 8 o'clock ta the morning, in
variably summer and winter, and to bed
at 9; he had to observe the strictest
discipline. First thing in the morning,
riding: then to study, changing profes
sors and subjects every hour; in the
afternoon, fencing and drilling, and then
In his study again. He had to do and
undo tho same .thing until it pleased bis
Cerberus; no " amusements, except a
drive or a ride with the colonel, who
even then forced his pupil to practice
a foreign language. No theatre, except
on some very rare occasion. Shooting
and hunting, of which the young prince
was very fond, had to be abandoned be
cause they were adlstractlon and a loss
of time; so that the poor boytonce said
sadly that he feared the wild boars and
the pheasants of Caatelporzlano had a
secret understanding with the colonel I
Indeed, so strict was the colonel in his
discipline that he did not spare his
Duoll even when he was unwell.--Once
when he had a bad cold and the colonel
wanted him to go all the same for his
usual ride on a rainy morning,, the court
doctor had a quarrel with him; but the
colonel had his way, and the doctor left
tbe .Quirinal-ahaklng JUs head and say
Ins;: "It is impossible to argue with
these soldiers!" Tet it is to this soldier
that the m-esent king of Italy owes his
strong health, his industry, his love of
order, discipline,' hard work, and the
golden habit of firmly and , conscien
tiously fulfilling his duty, no matter at
what sacrifice, seeking Jn such fulfill
ment the purest ' satisfaction of the
spirit. The only relief in this herd
training was traveling; Victor Em
manuel traveled a good deal as a boy
and as a young man. 1

WXXJ2AM BTADOO.
Barefoot Irish Boy Who Has Had
Htark ia tha World.
William McAdoo, the barefooted IrlsW
boy who arrived in New York with not
a cent to bless himself with, and who
came to be tbe friend' of President
Roosevelt, the late President McKlnley
and ' former President Cleveland, has
been appointed Tammany's police com
missioner of New York. He preceded.
President Roosevelt as assistant secre
tary of the navy, and now be is to as
sume the office in which Roosevelt first
attained distinction. 'McAdoo -was ap
pointed in spite of the strongest kind
of opposition put up by Big Tim Sulli
van and the men who though they ruled
Tammany," and that Charles F. Murphy
was only a figurehead, but the latter has
stood loyally by Mayor-elect McClellan.
The . announcement of McAdoo' s ap
pointment cama like a bombshell in
the lower part of the city, and there
was an almost open mutiny: among
the Tammany men. It was taken as
a declaration that the laws against
gambling and Illicit liquor selling, were
to be enforced, a policy . that would
alienate the great mass of German
saloon-keepers who flopped ..over to
Tammany at last election.
"McAdoo -can't enforce the law with
out the active 'aid of u the district
leaders," said the malcontents, "and ha
won't let that" But baok came the
stern injunction of Boss Murphy that
each district leader was to aid the new
commissioner in every way in his
power. The meaning of this order was
clear; anyone who did not choose to
obey could leave Tammany, and all that
remained for the disgruntled leaders
was to pass the word down tbe line that
it was all a bluff, and would only ba
kept up until the national elections in
November. ,
It is extremely unlikely, however, that!
a man of McAdoo'a stamina will allow
himself to be made a pawn, to be moved
about at the pleasure of gamblers- and
saloon-keepers. He says he will glva
a clean and honest administration, and
those who know him believe him. Ha
has always shown himself to be a strict
disciplinarian, . and the police look for
ward to his administration with a cer
tain amount of apprehension. Hta
nomination is said to be the price oC
Grover Cleveland's being the principal
speaker at the banquet to Mayor Mo
Clellan on January 1 the outward sign
of an alliance between Tammany and
the Cleveland faction of Democrats.
McAdoo la a man of 80, slight, erect,
full of nervous energy, ruddy in com
plexion, the only sign of age being
tinge of gray in bis mustache and hi
sparse hair. He came out as a speaker
for McClellan at tbe last election, and
his speeches were the wittiest of the
whole campaign. He seldom failed t
keep his bearers in a roar of laughter
with his fresh Irish wit. and Murphy,
who is no mean judge of a popular
orator, ranked him as the equal ofi
Bourke Cock ran. .
Although a man of . the humblest
origin he has the polish and bearing ot
a born aristocrat, a man who wouM
appear distinguished in any society. Ha
is a man who is true to his friends,
and it was his friendship for President
McKlnley that prevented him from ac
cepting an urgent call to speak in Can
ton, O., when be was running for com
gress. ''.-
McAdoo has been nearly all his lift
in national politics. He served elg'g
years in congress from a New Jersey
district, took a leading part in the tariff,
discussions from 1884 to 189J. as sall
before, was assistant secretary of ins
navy under Clevelund. ' ,

They also told this on a Plttsburger

about ' Washington when a crowd of

old times and happenings. It was dur

consulship. Several were suggested and
rejected by the applicant who didn't
